I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Nancy was always so nice and friendly anytime I had dealings with her. A true lady.
God bless you all, may the lord be with you.

I would like to send prayers and love to the whole family. You are all in the thoughts of all of us in the Gentry family. Mom (Rosie) is at the nursing home and just isn’t herself anymore and we lost Candy to the cancer battle 4maths ago. But I know that they both would close their eyes tonight when they went to bed with heavy hearts and lots of prayers and support for your whole family. So sorry for your loss. Nancy was a beautiful person inside and out and will go to join the Lord with some of the best women in our little town to have been known. So sorry.
